I don't see this user explicitly asking for trust ratings do you? They are asking for a review. This is not uncommon. Perhaps it could have been worded better and people are reading into it too much.
That was my assumption indeed when I posted this:
I recommend changing your requirement: asking for DT only to join looks a lot like you're buying trust. You should ask for trusted members instead.
I've seen many services ask for reviews or testing something, and I've joined a few too. The ones that don't ask for a higher rank are easily abused by account farmers, so it makes sense to ask for more trusted users too.
I think it's the first time I've seen someone ask for "DT members", hence my warning. It could just be naivety.
2. After reviewing, if the DT just vouches for the service and does not use any trust rating.
I think "vouching" for it is too much already. Being able to withdraw $2.70 is no reason to trust the site with a larger amount.
Or reacts to it as LoyceV reacted
here by giving a feedback from a non DT alt would be a decent way around.
My alt is put on DT3 now. The ratings are "maturing", and there's no reason to distrust the accounts. If someone puts it on DT2 at some point, I think I'll just leave the existing ratings, but will have to use
another alt for new non-DT ratings.
